I had an idea that Jerri was the one to be involved in this, but the reference to Sue in the article does make alot of sense.

She has already stated that she doesn't have a chance to win. And you just know she wants to take King Richard off of his throne.

The shocker this week could be not who leaves, but how and why they leave.

Sorry KB, I disagree with you on this:
Rich harrassed Sue at the last challenge, and she took it and shot back at him...doesn't mean she liked it.

It was Sue that started the conversation at RC after Lex made the statement that Richard caught 3 big eels and Kathy said he was like King Neptune out there, here is what was said:

Sue: That must be better eel then what ya caught when I was with ya cause the ones you brought me were all bone.

Richard: Well, I was feeding you honey

Sue: That was all bone

Richard: Well, that's why I gave it to you

Sue: You have no bone to give me Richard

Richard: That is absolutely true

It was Sue that kept going back to any possible sexual connotations, I don't think she was offended at all, nor do I think that Richard was harrassing her, if anything Sue was harrassing him.

I think Sue gets the normal boot this week, and next week is where the naked rubbing and "outrage" occurs.

OK folks, I just figured it out...all these rumors of a ghost tribe of snubbed all star wannabe's is really true, and next week we will see a ghost tribe that includes...Stacy Stillman...and in a challenge vs Richard gets rubbed up against and then threatens to quit and sue CBS, they settle and give her a big fat paycheck, and it's really all the deal they brokered to settle the first lawsuit, but in a way that nobody would know that CBS gave in!

OK, I know that is all really silly, sorry. I think Jerri is the most likely candidate for the "outraged" player next episode. For each of the episodes listed with their titles on SurvivorFever they say "the 4th play is voted out" etc, but for episode 6 they just say the title and do not list anything else, does this mean that potentially we see a bootee and a quitter in Ep6?

Kristen from E also reported this, which seemed obvious it was from Varner. Avid Fan mentioned that in an earlier article about this from Kristen, the woman was from "down under", which would be Jerri, Alicia, or Amber.

Well Snowbunny and I have discussed this and a couple things to look at here. When has Dicque EVER worn pants in a challenge this season, and yet he is wearing them now....

Could this mean that he was naked to start, the incident happened and he was told to put on his pants, thus we see the vidcap of him wearing said pants?

The person who is allegedly making this complaint, that will quit and threaten to sue, does so at a later point in the game, not right there on the spot. This means they will have had some time to think about the incident and it may occur to them they can win a lot more than a million dollars from a lawsuit or at least the publicity that would come of it.

It is our thought that the person who is involved would be a person who may know that they do not have a chance of winning and uses this as an excuse to leave the game in pursuit of the possible lawsuit and/or publicity. So who would be prime candidates for this type of action?

Kathy and Shi Ann are on his tribe so they wouldn't be going up against him. In the pix where he is wearing pants he is going up against Jenna L., so I can't imagine it is her. This leaves us with Susan, Amber, Jerri and Alicia. Three of those fit the "Outback" spoiler.

Susan Hawk -- At the time of the incident, she probably would shrug it off and make some sort of crude comment. Sue is also very shrewed and a tough #####. Given a day or two to think about it, she may see the dollar signs, and she is one who has already admited she does not have a chance of winning.

Amber - In the last tribal council she said that she is the one who is always trying to calm down the hot heads around her. It would be very ironic if she was the one who throws her hands up and storms out. She is in a power position with the tribe and alliance she is in and I do not think she would jeopardize it by something like this. If she was the one who Dicque touched she would have Rob M. to cry on and to and make it all better. I think it is more important to HER to win Survivor than to win money in a lawsuit.

Jerri - The big thing with Jerri is overcoming the bad publicity of her last Survivor appearance. We know that Jerri is a publicity DAW because of the Playboy thing and other inteviews. She could believe that it would be very beneficial to her to portray herself as a victim in front of America. Jerri is also smart enough to know that, aside from Dique, most of the Surivor winners are quickly forgotten by the average American. The publicity or infamy in a successful lawsuit against MB and company could be immeasurable. Even if it is not successful she would have been able to portray herself as a victim, thus helping to erase her past reputation and help make a smooth transition into a career in Hollywood. This whole conclusion may conflict with the spoilers that Jerri leaves in a "graceful" manner.

Alicia - It is tough to believe that she would through a fit on the spot and with her body building, she has probably seen a few naked men in her time. Alicia might be feminist enough to realize how offensive it might be. Still, she has too much competitive nature, in my opinion to bow out like this. Could the feeling that this was truly an affront to her overshadow her competitive nature?

Conclusion, I think Sue is a strong candidate for leaving. She tells it how it is. She would tell off Jeff and others for letting Dicque pull this kind of stuff. She wouldn't care about her reputation and would have the fortitude to fight MB and crew, but she isn't from Austrailia. Jerri is also a very strong candidate. She's already been shown as emotional, on the verge of a mental breakdown and could very easily throw a tantrum at the IC. Her tribe might even chide her, thus embarrassing her more, pushing her to this final decision. Remember reputation is everything to her.

Overall my gut is that it is Jerri who is involved in this. It is reported that Susan goes to Mexico with Dicque and she wouldn't if she was the person involved. I think it will happen to Jerri and she gets to brew it over a few days and then make her decision. Whether Dicque or Jerri goes first is yet to be seen.

As for the foreshadowing, was it showing that the confontation was to be between Dicque and Susan, or that the content of their conversation would be the subject of the incident?

Should be fun to watch.

You have a good point about Sue. She is a smart woman, and doesn't care what people think. A threat of a lawsuit from her would not seem out a character. Plus she has the moxy to pull it off.

I like the theroy of why Richard put his pants on. But to throw a wrench in it. Would you want your twig and berries dangling around during that challenge. If he goes against someone who is smart and doesn't mind, they could do a little yank! He may have his pant on througout the challege. I would (if I were a man that is!).

Another note on Alicia. She seems to react right away as my hubby pointed out. And this person stews on it a while before getting outraged.

Amber seems like the kind of person where the more she thinks about it, the worse it was.

I don't see Jerri doing it. I could be way off.

If you are right about Sue, my vote for the boot is wrong. Because this person apparently will be outraged in E6.

Right now, my money is on Alicia.

Of course, if it doesn't happen at THIS IC, it would then fall to Kathy or Shi Ann to throw the fit.

How about the pants as a result of CBS ordering a production intern to get busy with Photoshop after seeing the Jackson controversy. Also explains why that shot was from a PIP preview so poor video quality makes fake shorts less noticeable.

Except there's the problem of a full-size screen to watch the show tonight which can't be hidden like a PIP.

I think Rob would talk Amber out of it if she was threatening to quit. Rob needs that extra vote.

When has Dicque EVER worn pants in a challenge this season, and yet he is wearing them now....

How about at the last IC where he was sitting as the caller to his tribe, would have been a perfect opportunity for him to get naked, yet he is seen wearing shorts.

Could this mean that he was naked to start, the incident happened and he was told to put on his pants, thus we see the vidcap of him wearing said pants?

According to this article, they have expanded the pixelated area of each frame in order to meet tighter FCC regs.

I still don't think it was Sue that gets in this controversy.

Avid Fan mentioned that in an earlier article about this from Kristen, the woman was from "down under"

If avid fan was referring to this chat excerpt, Kristin says that tonight's boot is a woman from Down Under (Jerri). The stuff about the scandal is a response to a separate question and the woman is not identified.
